HOLY MOLY I'M 23!! + Giveaway

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AHHHHHHHH.
The year flew by so quickly. I swear I was singing Taylor Swift's '22' a few months ago.
Now, I'm a year older wiser :')

Unfortunately most of my family is busy this week, not to mention I work this afternoon, so I won't be celebrating with them until the weekend. [I miss my precious niece so much, you guys]. BUT ALL IS NOT LOST. I have a dinner and movie date with my friends tonight! Thank goodness for them because I would have just stayed home with Tidus otherwise (not that Tidus is no fun haa). 

In celebration of today and in thanks for following the blog, chatting with me on twitter or just stopping by, I'm having a birthday giveaway! I've included some of my favorite bookish goodies, some of which I received from my monthly book subscription box I wanted to share, and a signed copy of one of my fave books read this year, To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han! Be sure to enter at the bottom of the post :)

And to end the post, since it's my 23rd birthday, here's 23 random facts about myself. Some of these will probably be familiar if you've seen my 20 random facts tweet haa x)

  2. I think I was most excited about Six of Crows, Illuminae, Magnus Chase and The Rose Society. I've already read Six of Crows and Magnus Chase and enjoyed both of them and I hope to start the other two soon enough. The hardback of Illuminae is so beautiful. :3
